PVR Recording
Recording a Programme
IMPORTANT:
When using a new USB hard disk drive, it is recommended that you first format the
disk using your TV’s
Format Disk
option in the
Media Browser>Settings>Recording Settings
menu.
WARNING
: Ensure that no valuable information is currently stored in the connected data storage unit,
as the formatting process means that ALL DATA will be ERASED. TEAC does not take responsibility
for lost data.
WARNING
: While Time Shift or other recording functions are running, DO NOT disconnect the data
storage unit, to avoid damage or data loss. This feature is only available in DTV Mode. If the storage
space is running low, recording may not start, or be interrupted halfway.
To record a programme, you should first connect a USB disk to your TV while the TV is switched off.
You should then switch on the TV to enable the recording feature.
•
To record, your USB drive should have at least 2 GB free space and be USB 2.0 compatible.
If the USB drive is not compatible an error message will be displayed.
•
To record long programmes such as movies, it is recommended to use USB Hard disk drives
(HDD’s).
•
Recorded programmes are saved into the connected USB disk. If desired, you can store/copy
recordings onto a computer; however, these files will not be playable on a computer. You can
play the recordings only via your TV.
•
Lip Sync delay may occur during the timeshifting.
•
Radio record is supported.
•
The TV can record programmes up to ten hours.
•
Recorded programmes are split into 4GB partitions.
•
If the writing speed of the connected USB disk is not sufficient, the recording may fail and the
Timeshift feature may not be available.
•
It is recommended to use USB hard disk drives for recording HD programmes.
•
Do not pull out the USB/HDD during a recording. This may harm the connected USB/HDD.
• If the AC cord is unplugged while there is an active USB-recording timer setting, it will be
cancelled.
• Multipartition support is available. A maximum of two different partitions are supported. The
first partition of the USB disk is used for PVR ready features. It also must be formatted as the
primary partition to be used for the PVR ready features.
• Some stream packets may not be recorded because of signal problems, as a result
sometimes videos may freeze during playback.
